Welcome to Sedgeberrow Flood Group

The flood group was formed in the aftermath of the (hopefully) freak flood that affected the village in July 2007 with the purpose of trying to ensure that the village is better prepared for any future flood risk.

The group is coordinated by Richard Hunt as flood warden nominated by the Parish Council and whilst consisting entirely of volunteers from within the village, (some affected by the flood and some not), the group has been fortunate to have an extremely diverse range of skills from rural land use and detailed local knowledge through to engineers, project planners and amazingly one emergency planner!

However the group is always keen to hear from new volunteers and enthusiasm, a commitment to the community and empathy to those at risk is more important than any specific skills.

We hope you find the information useful but we always welcome any comments or suggestions to improve either this site or support that we can offer
